Bears top Mountain Lions in offensive slugfest

YOUNG HARRIS, GA -In a game where the final score looked more like a football score than a baseball score, Sal Carricato's ninth inning home run proved to be the difference as the Bears took down Young Harris 18-17 to sweep the weekend. 

Eight Bears notched a hit in this one, with Mackenzie Wainwright, Owen Blackledge, Sal Carricato, Cole Stanford, and Joseph Mozingo having multi-hit games.
